Inside Climate News reports that in May, the Hellenic Aquaculture Producers Organization gathered in Athens to promote the industry as the future of seafood. The meeting was part of a broader effort to cast Greek aquaculture in a positive light.
Yet the article is part of an investigation conducted by an international team of journalists based at The Outlaw Ocean Project, and its headline — “Greece’s Seafood Problem Starts Elsewhere” — signals a more complicated story. The industry’s impact, the reporting suggests, cannot be understood by looking at Greek waters alone.
The article does not specify where those external problems occur or how they unfold. What is clear is that the promotional message from Athens is being met with reporting that traces the country’s seafood challenge beyond its borders.
